KANSAS will force herself 10 the
front. She is the grAndest Of all the
young States. Even the old st.
Joseph MOI stops to pay homage to
her In this wise: 1.-THE recupera-
tive power Of Kansas is also wonder
ful. The state has undergone al
most countless disasters, yet there is
not to-day a member Of the Union
more robust, prosperous and hope
ful. The child has already been
born that will see IO,OOO, 900 people
occupying 3 state where in 1850
famine stalked through village
and country place, and the people
were begging for bread" +"

TEE editor Of the BroOkviile Times
II we may accept the last issue Of his
paper as evidence, has concluded
that the weight Of the whole republi-
can party Of Saline county rests upon
his shoulders. We do not dispute
his wisdom or his good intentions,
but we have q suspicion that he has
been 'swoFkedn By the combination
Of political contortiOnf8ts who seek
TO make Mr.. Martin register Of deeds

the Times is doubtless but a part Of
the precOnceTted arrangement by
which Il is proposed 10 land Mr. Mar

We do not object 80 much to MT.
Martin himself as we do to the ways
and methods sought to be employed
In his behalf. Saline county has
seen to much Of the hOOdlum IN pol
itics-tOo much Of the commercial
feature, we may add-and 10 our mind
It becomes the upright portion Of the
voters to force this element to the
rear. The election Of Mr.. Martin
augurs nothing for public good and
continues on top a gentry that men,
aces honest politics.

PROHIBITION has progressed along
sufficiently in the scale in Kansas
that II is not a reprOaeh In the minds
Of any to be called q prohibition re-
publican. A sober man will be re-
spected by all people. Prohibition
has done great good for the state.
Men who continue TO imbibe by rea-
son Of tastes and habits previously
formed acknowledge the fact and
would not return 10 the old system.
When the democratic Leavenworth
Standard slightingly talks about
Prohibition republicans" it does
itself no credit.

BANDITS AND REDSKINS.
fgoth arc Dcpredoting tn Mexico.

NoGALEs. A. T. December SO. News
have been received here stating that a
small band OF Apaches are roaming
through the mountains Of Moctezu-
ma district killing and Staying. A mum
ber OF travellers have recently been
way laid and shot on roads entering
Bavispe. A few days ago Clements
Lopez was killed at Las No. ales ranch
across the line in the United
States. Several troops OF fed
eral soldiers have stated on rail
but failed to find the Indian camp.
The lieutenant in command of the
troops reports that the band consisted
OF eight Apachcs. Word has been
received that the Captain of the Gus
tom House Guard.at Bavi5pe the other
day, found number OF dead cattle
which had been killed by Indians.
Ranchers from Copa de Iuack Ranch
followed the trail of the Indians into
the Sierra Madre mountains. Fran
cisco DOramo saw q dead
man and horse on the Granadas road
Point Cacaleta and reported to Project
Lehache. Deramo had an exciting
experience. He was fired at several
times from ambush and was chased
by four Indians six miles. A party OF
armed men went in pursuit and fol-
lowed the Indians into the foothills
of the Promontorio Mountains. The
Project OF the Moctezuma district
sent party of twenty-five, in COM
mand of Jesus Moreno, with instIuc-
ton to take up the trail and to follow
it until the Indians were run down.
The Acting-Governor of Sonora, Ra-
mon Corral, forwarded instructions
to the Project to use every means in
their power to capture the marauding
bands. Ii necessary he will put more
men in the field.
The Prefect of Sahuraha district in
forms the State authorities that q
party OF bandits recently commenced
depredations in the vicinity of the
Trinidad mine. Some days ago
Jesus Hortado was attacked by o
party of bandits near Trinidad,
who fired several shots without ef
feet, the darkness permitting the es-
cape of Hortado. A few nights ago o
party charged the house of Francisco
Ortego in the Arrojo Hindo Del
Neuvo, and fired several shots
through the doors and win
dows, and also attempted to
force an entrance. Ortego barricaded
the doors and windows and opened
fire on the band, driving them off.
The next day ten men were seen
with government rifles in the vicih-
ity. The band is supposed to be de.
serters from the regular army, who
are conscripted at the National Fed
eral prison at San Del Ulo, at small
island in Vera Cruz bay.

Want More Saiary.

The following petition has been
circulated and numerousiy signed
and will be presented to the City
Council on Tuesday next:
To The Honorable Council Of the City Of
Los 1ngefes, Cal, December go, 1887.
We, the undersigned police officers
of the City of Los Angeles, do hereby
pray that your honorable body take
into consideration the present salaries
of footmen now serving ON your force,
and beg respectfully to ask that said
salaries be increased.
We beg further to state it is with re-
luctance that We bring this subject
under your notice, but the present
high rent and cost of living, together
with the cost of uniforms and other
incidental expenses, compel us to do
SO. After due consideration OF these
points, We trust and believe our hon.
orable body will observe that this
plea is presented by utter necessity,
and not brought about by any dis
satisfaction on our part, and by
gr ,nting the same there will be a
just appreciation on the part OF your
obedient servants.
